Wrap a towel around it, then take her to the ER.

Ok,this is something that works for me,and i have done it for years,even before some surgeons started using it.Wash thoughrily with soap,and water,even if bleeding continues,dry with a clean towel and apply pressure to the cut untill bleeding stops,apply a thin coat of CRAZY GLUE over the cut and let it dry.Believe me within minutes,pain is gone,and healing begins.Do that only to clean cuts,like knife or blade cuts.My cuts usualy heals in 24 hours

I would say if it's deep and still bleeding she needs to see a doctor right away for stitches. If it is not too deep you can probably run cold water it, put pressure on it until the bleeding stops then cover it with a band aid and antibiotic ointment. One word of caution, if she has never had a tetanus shot I would have her see a doctor for one regardless of whether she needs stitches or not. It is a good idea to have a tetanus booster every 10 years.

if it's real deep she needs to go get stitches.....rap it and put pressure on it to ease the bleeding...if it ain't that bad just rinse it off with soap and water and put some type of cream for cuts on it and a bandade.....keep it from gettin infected by cleaning it everyday

If it's bleeding really bad she might need stiches. Tie a clean cloth around it to hold the wound closed while you take her to the hospital.

Depending upon depth, she should go to the emergency room for stitches or to the bathroom for a bandage.

WRAP A TIGHT CLEAN TOWEL AROUND THE FINGER AND TAKE HER TO THE E.R.
WHY?
AN ARTERY MIGHT HAVE BEEN CUT AND STITCHES WILL BE REQUIRED.

Well it's okay if you don't know what to do, you're on the internet anyway...
If neither one of you don't know what to do...
The world ends and we all just dissappear.
I hope your mom is smarter than you are?
